My Ocean Springs: 2007 in Pictures

Michael Pleasant opened Pleasant’s Tire Service with his father on Government Street in the early 1980s. After developing a reputation of dependability, Michael turned to his mother, Marie, and opened Pleasant’s Open Pit Bar-B-Q next door. This family owned and operated restaurant soon developed a reputation, too, that of having some of the best eating around! In addition to excellent ribs and barbecue plates, Pleasant’s also offers tasty desserts, including both sweet potato pie and pecan pie. Still, the hallmark of the restaurant is the barbecue, and to curious patrons, Michael simply says, “The secret is in the sauce!” Pleasant’s has been fixing cars and filling tummies for a quarter-century now!
